Oliver Herman Heighway
1930. "Oliver Herman Heighway (Dixie) was born and raised in Ladoga Indiana, a small farm town in north central Indiana, attended Ladoga High, went to Wabash College where he majored in Business. He also excelled in basketball (at 5' 6") became the best guard in WBC Wabash Valley Conference. He also started a wrestling club. He was employed as a stock broker in Chicago for a firm called Hornbleuer & Weeks.
"Part of the lore of the Heighway House in Ladoga, Dixie and his best friend, was that Hogy Carmichael played instruments many nights. His wife of many years, Vivian Wise Heighway, also played along, as she played the piano many times as her family grew up. At one point came up with a song called "Stardust." [ed. one of the world's most popular and recorded songs.] Dixie was enjoying the creativity, but preferred the local talent, so the only name on that song was Hogy. Stardust Memories became a best seller by Nat King Cole in the early 50's. and still today was used in the movie Sleepless in Seattle." -- Provided by grandson John Robert Heighway, Jr.
